I remember hearing an adage some time ago that went something like “Read a book a month, a magazine a week, and a newspaper a day”. I have no idea who that saying can be attributed to, but I always thought it was a good idea. I read the WSJ almost every day, I read a magazine or two a month, but I don’t really read a book a month. So what have I been reading?

Get Rich Slowly. This guy has some great advice. Plus, it is usually geared toward the younger crowd and it helpful for people getting ready to graduate from college, who are looking for a job, and who want to become financially stable.

Lifehacker. Lifehacker is just fun. It has so much stuff on there that I don’t even subscribe to the main feed, just the Friday one. I check it occasionally through the week, but it really does have some great stuff on there.

Why do people steal paintings? Yes, they are worth money, but they are paintings. Let the rest of us look at them.

Google Transit is really cool. The thing that makes it really sweet is that Pittsburgh is one of the cities that it works for. This would have been really cool to have when I lived in Pittsburgh and rode the bus everywhere I went.

I was wondering what would happen if I died to my email accounts. Would someone be given access? Would they be forever lost? Would my emails be published one day in some sort of volume of my personal correspondence? Now I know.

While we are on the subject of art, who know that Hitler was actually a painter, not a dictator? I think the paintings are quite good. I need to get around to reading Mein Kampf. I’ve read the first part of it, but I need to finish it.

Use a glass to cut the center out of the bread. Heat the pan and grease it with the butter. Put the bread into the pan and leave it there for about 30 seconds. Break the egg into the hole in the bread. Wait until the egg white cooks almost to the top of the egg in the bread. Flip it over. Do not flip this more than once. Wait another 30 seconds or so.

I tried greasing the bread and greasing the pan and I found that I liked it better when I greased the pan and not the bread. I use the bread that was cut out to mop up egg yolk. You can break the egg yolk after you crack the egg into the bread if you’re anti runny egg yolk.
